Igor: "I'll have to be a torch-bearing Zombie. I can't see in the dark."

Tebryn: "Hmnnn... yes... you'll need light, won't you..."

Igor: "Bet any Cleric we meet will be surprised when they can't Turn us!"

Hazen: "Maybe we could pretend to be Turned, then discreetly *flank* our
new master..?"

Igor: "Kewl. I'm in. Make me a Zombie!"

Kress: "Yol's already a Drow Cleric. So she doesn't need to be veiled."

Veracity: "I can do that, but then Yol will have to lead."

Yol: "I'll be a Zombie."

Tebryn: "I want to be the Drow Ranger. Make me really tough and
outdoorsy!"

Veracity: "Give you a kilt and a claymore?"

Hazen: "A kilt for Tebryn - yeah. In Black Plaid."

Tebryn: "Black on Black."

Brianna: "I want to be a Drow Ranger too!"

The boys strut around speaking in brogue-ish accents for a while.

Finally, Veracity casts Veil. She is the Drow Cleric/Leader.
Tebryn is a tough-looking Drow Ranger - with tousled hair and worn black
leather.
Brianna is a very comely Drow Ranger - with long, wild hair and a gleam
in her eyes.
Yol is a Zombie - whose nose has rotted away and fallen off.
Igor is a very, very tall Zombie - though not ceiling height.

Invisibility has worn off most of the party by now, so Veracity chooses
to be visible too.

In the dark (before we light torches for the veiled humans among us)
something pinches Igor's ass.

Igor: "Well, that's it, then! I'm tired of sleeping on the cold, stone
floor. As soon as we get outta this City, I'm going to get me a female
underling. Like Hazen has with Kress!"

Veracity looks at Hazen and Kress with new eyes! She thinks: "Really? I
wouldn't have guessed... But Kress does seem silent and passive to
Hazen's loud and aggressive.... No! Can't be. Igor's putting us on! What
Igor really needs is a nice pile of furs or a fold-up bed. We'll have to
be on the look out for that..."

But Veracity is now distracted, in communion with her Sword of Kas... a
warning... just as we hear: "Who goes there...?" in a deep quavering
voice.

Veracity, "A Cleric of Kiaransalee and my servants."

"We do not recognize you."

Veracity, "Ditto."

The ghost mistakes Veracity's bland honesty for impertinence!

Sword of Kas - Foresight tells Veracity to close her eyes! But first she
quickly casts a Haste on her companions.

But those who are invisible are not Hasted - since Veracity can't see
them.

Kas/Foresight tells Veracity we're are up against a Pair of
Ghosts. Veracity hisses a warning: "ghosts." But apparently no one hears
her.

Female Drow Ghost 1 manifests.

Veracity's eyes are closed. Tebryn and Brianna are susceptible to
"Corrupting Gaze" but manage to avoid it.

Brianna busts into song. Yol prays.

Female Drow Ghost 2 manifests.

Veracity warns the party (much more loudly this time!) that several more
ghosts are approaching. But Igor is determined to fight on.

Yol gets the two immediate ghosts to cower in awe before her. They are
"rebuked."

Veracity delays to admire Yol's handiwork!

Then Igor attacks.

Then Veracity prepares to attack two-handed with sword of Kas and Life
Stealer, but pulls back when the ghosts are already dealt with by Igor
[and Hazen?]

Brianna continues singing.

Two more ghosts arrive.

Veracity closes her eyes. Her companions save against corrupting
spell. Tebryn lets off a spell.

A third ghost manifests with a Corrupting Gaze. Then a fourth.

Veracity opens her eyes and makes 4 saves thanks to her special
Fortitude Bonuses. She fights with two weapons. She takes 2 swipes at
one ghost, hits both times and downs it, then 4 swipes at the next (but
misses twice) but damages it nicely.

There are 3 ghosts left - two of which are rebuked by Yol the Great
Rebuker! (Normally she rebukes US about not being worthy of death - this
time her gripe is with the ghosts. ;-)

The others beat up on the last fighting ghost and it falls. Then Igor
beats up the 2 poor, little rebuked ghosts (because Igor is evil and
doesn't care about a Fair Fight ;-)

Veracity delays. She says "several more ghosts are coming!"
Yol moves 30 feet and saves twice vs. the corrupting gaze of the two
ghosts. She attempts to rebuke them. Both of the ghosts cower as if in
awe of the mighty death priestess.
Hazen opens his eyes and saves twice vs. the corrupting gaze of the two
ghosts. He moves up and strikes at Ghost 1, missing.
Igor strikes at Ghost 1 for 31 points.
Hazen takes the opportunity to hit it for 11 points.
Igor takes the opportunity to hit it for 30 points. It falls.
Igor Cleaves through to hit Ghost 2 for 29 points.
He misses. He hits for 27 points. It falls.
Kress runs around. "Where? Where?" There are no opponents to be seen.
Brianna's singing kicks in.
Ghost 3 manifests where Ghost 1 had been.
Everybody saves vs. its corrupting gaze.
Ghost 4 manifests in the midst, of everybody.
Everybody saves vs. its corrupting gaze.
Tebryn sends 5 magic missiles for 22 points into Ghost 4.
Ghost 5 manifests in behind Igor
Everybody saves vs. its corrupting gaze.
Ghost 6 manifests in behind Hazen
Everybody saves vs. its corrupting gaze.

Veracity strikes at Ghost 4. She hits for 17 points, hits for 17
points. It falls.
Veracity strikes at Ghost 5. She hits for 16 points, misses. With
her life stealer she hits for 18 points, and misses.
Yol rebukes the 3 remaining ghosts. Ghost 3 and Ghost 5 cower in
awe.
Hazen strikes at Ghost 5. He hit for 13, points, misses, 12 points.
Igor attacks Ghost 6. He misses, hits for 32 points. It falls.
He cleaves through to hit Ghost 5 for 32 points.
He cleaves through to hit Ghost 3 for 30 points.
Hazen takes the opportunity to hit Ghost 3 for 12 points. It falls.
